Chapter 605: Chapter 624 RecognitionBut for her to stand before everyone and agree to let Su Yiyi be with Li Yifei was also very difficult for her to utter, and once she agreed, what would become of Chu Xiaoyao? Besides, there was He Fangqing. She had agreed to others, but He Fangqing was her close friend, and if she continued to pretend to be ignorant, wouldnât that be unfair to He Fangqing? And there was Michelleâif Michelle saw how easygoing she was and then secretly had a relationship with Li Yifei, and later challenged her for her position, wouldnât she have to agree as well? Then she truly would be putting together a grand harem for Li Yifei.
"Iâm... Iâm sorry!" Su Yiyi suddenly spoke up, and even looked up at Xu Yingying, saying, "Sister Yingying, I am really happy to see you this time. You are so suited for Brother Li. Only someone like you is fit to be Brother Liâs wife. I will not... affect you and Brother Li anymore. Please donât be mad at Brother Li. Itâs all my fault, I knew Brother Li was already married and yet I continued to see him. I was the one clinging to him. Sister Yingying, you must not blame Brother Li."
Other than stuttering on the words "Iâm sorry," Su Yiyiâs speech was fluent, and even carried a smile on her face.
However, upon hearing Su Yiyiâs words, everyone felt a deep sting in their hearts. They could all sense Su Yiyiâs intention to protect Li Yifeiâto avoid making things difficult for him, she had uttered such heartbreaking words.
Xu Yingyingâs lips quivered, then she looked towards Li Yifei, and Li Yifei was also looking at her. His gaze seemed indifferent, but it made Xu Yingyingâs heart palpitate. Li Yifei showed no intention of pressing her, but she knew clearly that if she did not agree now, even if Li Yifei did not leave her, their relationship was likely to come to an end.
Xu Yingying moved, slowly walking towards Su Yiyi, and everyoneâs heart lifted to their throats. Nobody knew what Xu Yingying was going to do, and at this moment, no one spoke or stopped her, not even Chu Xiaoyao, who was also anxiously rooted to her spot.
With each step Xu Yingying took, it was as if striking everyoneâs hearts, and when she stopped in front of Su Yiyi, everyoneâs hearts were in their throats.
"Yiyi!" Xu Yingyingâs voice was dry, then she gently took Su Yiyiâs cold hand and softly said, "If... youâre afraid of being wronged... I donât mind... you being with Yifei."
As Xu Yingyingâs words fell, the room suddenly became even more silent, as if everyoneâs heartbeats had stopped.
This silence lasted for a good ten seconds before Chu Xiaoyaoâs cheer broke the calm. She jumped over, took the arms of both Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi, and excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Yiyi, I told you, Sister Yingying is such a good woman. She wouldnât get angry with you. You should have met Sister Yingying earlier; you just wouldnât agree. Now you know, right?"
Su Yiyi looked at Xu Yingying in shock, not expecting Xu Yingying to say such things. She even doubted her ears, and even if it was Xu Yingying who said it, she still doubted the truth of those words. Xu Yingying was Li Yifeiâs wife; how could she tolerate the presence of a mistress like her?
When Xu Yingying said these words, her heart indeed ached, and it was extremely difficult for her, but after actually saying it, she felt relieved. She gave Su Yiyi a faint smile and said, "However, I do have one condition. Outside, you and Yifei must not be too ostentatious. After all, if it gets out, and my husband has another woman, that would be too embarrassing for me."
Su Yiyiâs lips trembled, completely at a loss for words, while Chu Xiaoyao excitedly said, "Sister Yingying, donât worry. I and Yiyi will definitely not do that. Outside, you are uncleâs wife, and Yiyi and I are just your little maids, your little serving girls."
Xu Yingying gave Chu Xiaoyao a look, saying, "Little maids, little serving girls? It sounds as if Iâm bullying you. You are my sisters." Yet she felt a bit depressed inside; she had only agreed to Su Yiyi, and Chu Xiaoyao had nothing to do with it, but Chu Xiaoyao was taking advantage of the situation and included herself in, leaving Xu Yingying with no way to object.
"Yes, yes, we are all your sisters and will listen to you, sister," Chu Xiaoyao said ingratiatingly, gently shaking Xu Yingyingâs arm, practically flattering her.
This made everyone unable to refrain from a burst of laughter. Chu Xiaoyao was the youngest but the boldest. No one thought her character was flawed even with such flattering of Xu Yingying; some even secretly envied Chu Xiaoyaoâ if they could be as shameless as her, perhaps that wouldnât be so bad. But although they liked the idea, they couldnât bring themselves to act like Chu Xiaoyao.
Then Xu Yingying turned to Su Yiyi, who was still in a daze, and said, "Yiyi, wonât you agree?"
Su Yiyiâs body shivered, her mouth twitched, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears, which she couldnât hold back, and with a choked voice, she said, "Sister Yingying... I... I..."
Xu Yingying sighed, reached out to wipe Su Yiyiâs tears away, and said with another sigh, "Actually, the one who really took Yifei from you should be me. You and Yifei were already together then, but I married him, and now youâve been wronged so much."
"No, no! Iâm not wronged! Iâm truly happy, just as long as you arenât mad at Brother Li."
Xu Yingying turned her head to glance at Li Yifei and said, "Of course Iâm still going to blame him. If he had let you meet me sooner, you wouldnât have had to suffer so much."
Watching Su Yiyi and Xu Yingying come to such a result, Li Yifei couldnât help but show a smile on his face, a genuine one that came from his heart.
Xu Shanshan stealthily nudged his shoulder at that moment and glared at him, lowering her voice to say, "Stinky brother-in-law, youâre really something, huh? Planning to bring her home now?"
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Not really, but Iâm very happy things have cleared up."
"Hmph, let me tell you, youâre not allowed to keep bringing women home. At night, youâd better stick with my sister. If you dare to wander off, weâll see if I let you off the hook."
Although Xu Shanshanâs voice was soft, both Su Mengxin and Michelle could hear her. They took it as Shanshan simply standing up for her sister, a perfectly normal reaction. However, Li Yifei knew there was another layer of meaning to her words. If Li Yifei took Su Yiyi home as well, it would mean that he would spend a lot of time with Su Yiyi, and that would make Shanshan unable to feel the vibe Li Yifei and Xu Yingying being together brought her. Even if Yingying was okay with it, Shanshan wouldnât stand for it.
Li Yifei could only give a dry laugh and said, "Yes, yes, I wonât wander."
Xu Shanshan then rolled her eyes at Li Yifei, still feeling quite annoyed inside. However, seeing Su Yiyi as such a gentle girl, she couldnât really get mad at her, so she could only restrict Li Yifei and make sure he stayed as much as possible with her sister.
Su Mengxin watched all this with mixed emotions. Now that Xu Yingyingâs team had grown stronger, including Chu Xiaoyao and now Su Yiyi, especially Su Yiyi, who was a knot in Li Yifeiâs heart, Xu Yingyingâs resolution of this issue would mean Li Yifei would be utterly devoted to being with Xu Yingying. Mengxinâs own chances were getting slimmer.
Her eyes shifted, and a smile reappeared on her face. If this path was blocked, then she would find another. To be with Li Yifei, she must give up certain things. Yet, at that moment, no one paid her any mind, and even if they noticed her expressions were a bit strange, who would think it had to do with Li Yifei?
Michelle observed all this with both joy and apprehension. But the education she had received was after all traditional, liking Li Yifei was one thing, she could continue to feel this way, but she did not want to become his lover. Yet, seeing Su Yiyi receive Xu Yingyingâs forgiveness made her feel tempted, despite her reason telling her she couldnât do this.
Finally, Meng Xiaofei let out a sigh of relief. She knew she had misspoken earlier and giggled, "That scared me to death, I thought I was in big trouble this time."
Su Mengxin smiled and said, "Youâve actually given Yiyi an opportunity, so youâve done a good deed. Still, itâs best not to mess around with such things, otherwise if youâre not careful, it could cause big trouble."
Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said to Li Yifei with a bright smile, "Brother Li, Iâm really sorry, it was all nonsense from me, please donât be mad at me."
Li Yifei tapped Meng Xiaofeiâs forehead and said, "If I were mad at you, I would have thrown you into the sea long ago."
Meng Xiaofei giggled and said, "You wouldnât do that, Brother Li, Iâm such a good little sister."
Everyone was amused by Meng Xiaofeiâs feigned cuteness, and the atmosphere became incredibly harmonious.
As the shipâs horn blew, the cruise ship left the dock, and Little Yifei was in no mood to stay in the room. She had no excitement for the adultsâ affairs and just wanted to go out and play.
Chu Xiaoyao, Xu Shanshan, and Meng Xiaofei were also eager to go, and with these few rushing, everyone went out together.
The luxury cruise was truly luxurious, with each deck having its own features. The restaurants offered both Chinese and Western cuisine, available twenty hours a day, with the topmost deck having an open-air swimming pool, complete with all kinds of entertainment facilities. If one wanted to fully experience the cruise, a couple of days wouldnât be enough.
And without a guide, it was easy to get lost just wandering around the ship. Luckily, there was a staff member every short distance along the corridors, ready to provide directions wherever guests wanted to go.
